    Custom Section Sizes are Showing, but are much Larger when Placed

      Product(s): AECOsim Building Designer
      Version(s): 08.11.09.866
      Environment: N/A
      Area: Structural Design
      Subarea: Steel Members

    Problem

    When new section files are placed in to the program, they are appearing much larger than the specified size.

     Section definition

     Section being placed (green block) is much larger than anticipated

    Solution

    During the loading of custom XML files, by default, Imperial.Xml is loaded. This causes any loaded objects to be converted incorrectly into Imperial scale. The XML file should be modified to set the isMetric tag correctly (isMetric="true"). In the example highlighted here, "Spanish_SF.Xml" has been modified accordingly.
